Director Biography - Elroy Dsouza

I did not go to film school but I have a background in business with an MSc in Business Administration from the UK.

Living in India with a humble family of great musicians always brought out my creative side in everything I did. But I was way too afraid to go onto the path of an unstable income, so I completed a degree in business from the UK.

Making videos was more like a favourite hobby that I never considered to take seriously. But since the pandemic happened, my career took a transition like no other and I started my commercial adverts at home to practice the art. Little did I know that one the employers from a UK based media company noticed my work & offered me a freelance job as a video editor which completely changed my life.

While working on projects for others, I knew that I would like to do something for myself one day. I realised the immense satisfaction that I received after filming videos; which could not be compared to a field that I previously pursuing. I have fallen in love with film making and hope to work with many talented people across the globe.
